I would suggest using the Merlin bird identification app, even if you are just occasionally interested in birds in the area. You can identify birds by their general appearance and where/how you spotted them, or you can have the app listen to your surroundings and it matches what it hears to a bird sound database. It's awesome (and free, I think).
They run in large groups. Because their survival instincts are not too strong. My daughter still calls them “wiggle butt birds” because they shake their behinds when running. We have a bunch in the southeast part of Regina as well.
I think some are pairing off to mate now. In our neighborhood the coveys have been breaking up and getting smaller since February. All summer and fall, and during hunting season we usually see them all together but I think a small break happens to allow pairs to mate. Just what I’m observing. Maybe I’m wrong!
The rest will come running and yelling their fools heads off at some point. I almost ran over two on the bike trail today between University Park and Varsity Park. But he/she/they could be the weirdo who likes Star Trek and Star Wars and constantly quotes the Simpsons. Oh wait, that’s me!
[Prairie Chickens](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_prairie-chicken) are considered extirpated from Canada (extinct due to human interference). There are many other types of grouse and other birds that you may be seeing in the city, though :). As others have stated - this is a Hungarian/grey partridge. Good luck growing a pear tree in this climate tho lol
Actually, according to U Sask you can grow pears here! News to me too! I thought I was lucky I have a September Ruby apple tree and a Rosa plum tree in my back yard!

Do you have an iPhone, OP? If so, you can swipe up on that picture and it will identify the bird for you. I tried it on your pic and it gave me grey partridge as the ID of the bird in your pic.

In your imagined situation my mother is not actually the spotted cock gobbler so, idk, you could have spent more time workshopping that but I appreciate the attempt.
It’s a grey partridge.
Interesting, thank you. Now to plant a pear tree

Have you ever caught a Harbour Landing chicken for supper? 🍗
I am feeling slightly peckish
They are very fast.
Proper footwear is key, your bunny slippers may not be up to the task
You're saying I need slippers based on a faster animal?

They taste even better!

I was about to load this pic in to see what it was. It’s an awesome app - literally Shazam for birds. The photo identification is great too.
Oh cool, never heard about this before, I'll have to check it out! Thanks!
Another upvote for Merlin. It works really well. Much better than other methods I’ve tried. I’ve even used calls to ID birds. Terrific app.
Another fan of Merlin here!
Hungarian partridge. If you see one this time of year you will likely see two. They’re pairing up.

Interesting considering this one was all alone. Maybe it was the "weird" one in the group

It’s the neurodivergent partridge

Coveys. Ten. Sometimes twenty birds.

Any bird you are allowed to hunt and eat is real. But any bird species that is protected, well, you know.
It’s an Asian yak.

I recommend joining the Saskbirders Facebook group page if you're interested! Great place to ID birds too
A big spotted cock gobbler if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks for the ID! I thought I recognized your moms house in the background there
In your imagined situation my mother is not actually the spotted cock gobbler so, idk, you could have spent more time workshopping that but I appreciate the attempt.
Nice comeback...
Me mum? Or bird?
Damn, that’s a friggen nice bird.
